I'm sorry but airplanes have to tip their hats to physics. There's only so much weight a plane can carry, and there's only so many seats they can widen before they become financially unviable. If you're a fatty you kill the industry because they can't make a profit.
Suck it up, and learn to suck it in. If you're fat, you need to pay for 2 seats. It's your choice. Be fat and pay more or be normal size and get life cheaper. Just pick one.

Kenlie Tiggeman, the overweight passenger who garnered national
attention last May after she claimed a Southwest gate agent told her she
was "too fat to fly," is now suing the airline.
Tiggeman, who lives in New Orleans and blogs about weight loss on her
website, AllTheWeigh.com, filed an injunction against Southwest in
district court on April 20, alleging that the Southwest agents "did not
follow their company policy and chose to discriminate, humiliate and
embarrass" her in front of "airport onlookers," and that the airline
uses "discriminatory actions ... toward obese customers."

When your stuff is hanging over my seat, that tells me you need some of my seat. I paid for said seat. If I paid for that seat and part of your ass is on it, you should be paying extra. Because you decide to put more calories in your mouth than your bodies needs, I should not have to suffer. Because you don't want to get up at 5:15 am and run three miles before work when I do, is not my problem. Why should I pay for your lack of discipline.
If you can't sit in one of those teensy seats
(and yes, they are teensy)
IF you overlap and take up more space
(and smother the passenger right next to you)
The policies are clear .. purchase an extra seat ..
For planes now are booked full before takeoff ..
Flights are cancelled/combined if not full ..
IF the flight is not full .. then she could possibly get a refund of 2nd ticket
(depending on airline policy)

I certainly hope that LA has a loser pays system because weight isn't the only thing this special whiny nut needs to lose.
It's sad that this lady was shunned in public, but then again, the airline company might be thinking of costs and money. I mean airplane seats are quite small.
Their policy is that you need to make double seating arrangements and can get a refund for one of the seats if the flight is not solidly booked and your fat ass can be accommodated without disrupting, displacing or crushing another full-fare passenger.
